Welcome Back! Film Poster presentations.

Learning objective:

To identify elements of film posters through research and planning for use in a film poster you have created..

Key words: 
Enigma.
This is a puzzle or a mystery contained within the text. A fim poster or trailer, for example will only give snippets of narrative, not the whole story in the hope that the audience will come to see the film to find out the rest.

Your film posters should be complete or nearing completion.
On Thursday April 23rd you will deliver a short presentation to the class describing aspects of your poster. The presentation and poster will be marked as an assessment task.
You will need to consider the following when describing your work.

Genre: 
How visual and technical codes have been used to classify the film genre.
Lettering/Font styles
Characters
Body language
Setting

Theory:
Have you applied Propp or Todorov narrative theory to your work? Say so!

Film industry:
What can you say about how the film industry promotes its films?
Reviews. Distribution. Social Media.
Have you included aspects of these in your post.

In addition, you need to make the following pieces of work available and easy to find in your orange folders:

1. Two or three examples of posters from the genre that you are dealing with. ONE of these should be annotated with the main conventions clearly indicated.
2. A short synopsis of your film which was peer assessed.
3. A mood board showing four backgrounds which will reflect the setting for your 'film'.
4. A mood board which shows four film titles using relevant fonts for the genre you are dealing with.
5. A mood board which shows iconography of the genre you are dealing with.
